Here is what Wyoming has to say about the use of airplanes.
"USE OF AIRCRAFT,AUTOMOBILES,MOTORIZED AND SNOW VEHICLES AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FOR HUNTING OR FISHING ARE PROHIBITED; EXCEPTION. No person shall harass,pursue,hunt,shoot,or kill any Wyoming wildlife except predatory animals with,from, or by use of any aircraft, automotive vehicle, trailer, motor-propelled wheeled vehicle, or vehicle designed for travel over snow. NO PERSON SHALL USE ANY AIRCRAFT, TO AID IN THE TAKING OF ANY WYOMING WILDLIFE, EXCEPT PREDATORY ANIMALS, WHETHER BY SPOTTING OR LOCATING THE WILDLIFE, COMMUNICTING WITH ANY PERSON ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THE WILDLIFE, OR BY PROVIDING OTHER AID TO ANY PERSON TAKING THE WILDLIFE. NOTHING IN THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO THE USE OF AIRCRAFT BY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, THEIR EMPLOYEES,CONTRACTORS OR DESIGNEES PERFORMING ANY LAWFUL DUTIES."
So it pretty much looks to me like it is completely out of the question here in Wyoming to use aircraft. But in states that allow it LEGALLY then it goes back to an ethical question.
Kidney if I were you I would glean your states regulations or call the G&F to find out if indeed this practice is legal or not, if it is not legal then try to provide proof that this individual was in fact doing this activity and turn him in. If it is legal then lump it or try to get the change made.
schmalts,
I think I understand your position completely, if it is infact legal then there isnt anything to whine about. It is no different than using an ATV to scout with in my mind (once again, assuming everything is legal). You hear the same complaints every year, so and so gets up at 330 am to hike into his favorite spot only to have Joe Blow sleep till 6 am and buzz in on his ATV and reach the spot ahead of the first guy.
